Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Accuracy of EEG Slow Wave Activity in Predicting Favorable Outcome in Patients With Hypoxic Brain Injury—A Protocol for a Substudy of the STEPCARE Trial
Study context
- Population
- Adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients in the STEPCARE trialplanned recruitment 300
- Planned comparison
- C-Trend Index vs blinded retrospective visual analysis of cEEG
- Primary endpoint
- Accuracy (proportion of correct predictions of all predictions) in predicting favorable functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-3); non-inferiority limit 2%
- Follow-up
- 6 months after cardiac arrest
Methodological detailspre-planned, non-inferiority, factorial parent trial, cEEG recorded starting as early as possible after ICU admission, Will assess whether the sedation intervention of STEPCARE modifies the performance of EEG-based predictors
